  • 'Disco' Clam Ctenoides Ales (Finlay, 1927): Mechanisms and Behavioral Function
    Flashing in the 'Disco' Clam Ctenoides ales (Finlay, 1927): Mechanisms and Behavioral Function By Lindsey Dougherty Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Roy L. Caldwell, Chair Professor David R. Lindberg Professor Damian O. Elias Spring 2016 Abstract Flashing in the 'Disco' Clam Ctenoides ales (Finlay, 1927): Mechanisms and Behavioral Function by Lindsey Dougherty Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology University of California, Berkeley Professor Roy L. Caldwell, Chair This dissertation investigated the ‘disco’ clam Ctenoides ales (Limidae), which is the only bivalve in the world that has a behaviorally-mediated flashing display. Topics covered include (i) mechanisms, ultrastructure and movement that produce the flashing, (ii) the fitness value (function) of the flashing, (iii) the clams’ sensory abilities and vision, and (iv) the clams’ ecology, distribution and habitat. The flashing occurs on the clams’ mantle lip. Electron microscopy revealed two distinct tissue sides; one highly scattering side that contains dense aggregations of spheres composed of silica (white), and one highly absorbing side that does not (red). High-speed video confirmed that the two sides alternate rapidly, creating the appearance of flashing. Optical modeling suggested that the sphere’s diameter is nearly optimal for scattering light, especially at shorter wavelengths, which predominate in the ocean. This simple mechanism produces a striking optical effect. Three potential hypotheses for the fitness value of the flashing were investigated; conspecific attraction, prey luring, and/or predator deterrence. The lack of movement toward other C.

  • 126 NINETY MILE DESERT I Believe the Umbilical Cord Is Cut Twice in Life
    NINETY MILE DESERT I believe the umbilical cord is cut twice in life for men. Once at birth and again when one’s father dies. It is only after the death of a father that a son feels really on his own. No longer is there a strength to turn to for guidance. I shall never forget the day my father died. He had been physically weakened when he had a lung collapsed after contracting tuberculosis at the age of only 35. He had recovered remarkably well and within two years went back to work, putting in long hours all through WWII guiding the vital aluminium industry that produced the raw materials necessary for the British to defend Great Britain, and with our US allies, defeat the Fascists. During the war my father lived in a Grosvenor House Hotel flat that overlooked Hyde Park. During the night he had to do duty as a night watchman on the roof, like the other guests of the hotel. The Germans used to drop thousands of incendiary bombs on London on their nightly raids. These would set roofs on fire and actually caused more damage than the big explosive bombs. Whole streets could be burnt out because there were never enough fire engines to cope. The incendiary bomb looked like a roll of chocolate biscuits. The watchman had a broom handle with a claw on the end with which they could grab the bomb and plunge it into a bucket of water. The only thing my father ever mentioned about this experience on the hotel roof was his horror at the sight of London burning.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

Forward Being creative is difficult, often terrifying, lonely work. The best writers and artists must dig deep within themselves in order to cre- ate the art that they later share with others. And then, in the sharing, the artist must stand unmasked, alone, and vulnerable while an audience of strangers critiques their work.

  • Read an Excerpt
    Table of Contents The Tree Poachers Would You Rather Comet’s Snowball Spider-Man Publish or Perish Bullhead Oscar Lansing The Last President Technical Writing The Sorry Store The Tree Poachers Norwood lets the digger warm up in the backyard. He’s never taken it up the mountain, doubts whether it can handle the elevation. Still, once everything is secure- the tool box padlocked, the hydraulic lines bungeed, the four spades on the back collapsed into one another like a giant steel artichoke- he eases the green beast off the lawn, over the curb, each wheel an elephant foot thundering into the quiet. The client had told him, “Be as discreet as possible.” Right. The kid, hung-over or not, better be ready because Norwood isn’t fucking around today. Four in the morning. Too old for this shit. Four goddamn hours of sleep. Coffee and a cigarette for breakfast. When he reaches Easy’s apartment, Norwood can’t bring himself to lay on the horn. Too quiet out. The sort of quiet that makes you feel guilty even when you aren’t doing anything. The client called, asked him to do a job, and that was that. Norwood isn’t exactly sure about the legal fine print and he wants to keep it that way. Easy comes to the door, same clothes as last night, holding a mug of smoking coffee, smiling like he’s going off to camp or something. Behind him there’s a girl climbing into a pair of jeans, long t-shirt on, her back to Norwood.
